a| The film is a modern metaphor to George Orwell's “1984”: Surveillance cameras are everywhere on the streets, coldly recording everything. In the pre-dawn hours, a forlorn street cat, a lost pet dog with a reward out for his return, a vagrant sleeping on the pavement, and a prostitute standing at the roadside looking for a john are accompanied by the morning chants of a nearby Buddhist temple, together composing a “Song of the Wanderers.” Among them are a disabled person rejected by his family, an elderly woman abandoned by her children, and homeless people with nowhere to go. People pass by without seeing them, police cite and release them over and over, politicians make hay out of issues, and poor people keep exploiting other poor people by playing the lottery. Although the surveillance and control is milder than that depicted in Orwell’s 1984, in essence it is equivalent as it allows those in power to do whatever they want while facilitating a plethora of fines. Ultimately, society’s regression and weakened national competitiveness harm the average person.
